i saw rory for the 3 rd time in montreux in 85 , he cames in the pub in front of montreux casino late night to have beers and jam , he was a humble nice man , ready to talk with anyone , to play with anyone and i'm very proud to had a couple of beers with him and some friends .... When i'll die i want his music for my funerals
Nice one man , have you listened to flight to paradise yet? That's my rory funeral track
You're so lucky ..you saw him alive.
I think the best version of Sloe Gin I ever heard him do. For sure, Joe felt that guitar. Wow. Rory was smiling, too.
I played that guitar! Met Rory backstage and asked him if I could play it and he said, "sure"! A very nice man and a great player!
what an honor my frined ! =)
Tony Thomas yeah Tony same here. I have the same story.
I really had no idea of who he was at the time. Caught his show and he was really good! And what a nice guy!
Tony and Chris, what was it like to play the guitar? Did it feel any different than other strats?
UnchainedMelody86 I remember it was really beat up and had heavy strings. Otherwise, it felt like a Strat.
Hearing Rory’s guitar again. I have tears streaming down my face.
I love Rory G, and am lucky to have seen him play live. It's a nice tribute by Bonamassa. It will promote Rory's music and his legend.
Hello friend :)
I saw Rory in Greece, 1981. He's the blues God for many of us here :)
Saw Rory 3 times back in the seventies, absolutely blew me away every time! Man could he make that strat sing. 👍❤️
Love Joe it's an honour to see him play Rory's guitar I'm sure Rory Gallagher would have been delighted..RIP Rory another great Irish musician
To us younger guys who cant really remember Rory Gallagher, I think its killer that Joe is still keeping his sound and memory alive. This goes out to all those folks who hate on Joe..........
Excellent!!!❤❤❤
Amazing tone, great playing, and great singing as well. Rory is smiling in heaven.
The most legendary electric guitar ever....
Davide Bettin naw that's Peter greens les paul
dade bet .....Actually Rodney is correct.
@@68blues SRV strat is up there for sure
Gilmours black strat?
Terry Kath's Pignose Strat.
He Plays this Guitar with RESPECT , thats Great !!
Cool Joe !
Rory will be in Guitar Valhalla with Jimi, Healey, Moore and all they guys, thanks for keeping it real.
Rory's Taste live moments from 1970 to 1972 are AMAZING. That trio was Outstanding. Same guitar as well
Either way, Rory was a hero of Joe Bonamassa and he plays tribute to Rory his way. Should be respected for that.
Lucky what a set.
Brilliant. I believe Rory would be proud and happy his treasured guitar once again was able to speak. Joe Bonamassa is a great guitar ambassador and true believer. Loved Rory and loved this tribute.
What planet are you on? - Joe Bananas is a joke. - 'proud and happy'? - to hear the dreadful tone that Bananas plays from a guitar that once produced beautiful sounds - to even think that a rank amateur like Bananas could even be worthy of playing such a guitar is just unbelievable - leave Rory alone and don't even try to compare him with a half-assed pretence like Bananas.
I agree 😃
that legendary guitar
played by a legend, stunning.
That respectful performance only enhances the legacy of Rory. and that Strat. He even dispensed with the keyboards on the intro, and instead let Rory's Strat chime as only She can. Beautiful.
Wow.. Rory was cool. I saw him open for Rush many years ago, and when he first came on stage, I wasn't sure I'd like him as I'd never heard of him except what I read before the show. So, about 30 minutes into the show and his tube amps were singing, and so was he and the show was great.. I loved him after that and have since. What a great tribute! Thanks so much..
Amazing to see Rory’s guitar on stage again carrying his torch on!
Great performance! This is what a true artist sounds like. No fake radio auto tune.
Joe is The Real Deal!!!! What a badass…❤
RORY WAS SMILING DOWN JOE DID HIS AX PROUD
Must have been a privilege to play with such an instrument
My God, this solo at the end is TOPS! Rory's guitar shedding rivers of tears. God bless you Joe.
Got tears in my eyes watching this!! So many memories of Rory playing that guitar!!
Imagine playing your heros guitar. Joe had to love every minute of it! It shows too!👍😎🎸🎶
This is the definition of beauty! Done with great respect on a great man's guitar. Loved Rory. Love Joe.
Playing this guitar must be like some religious experience
I think Rory would be much happier at people playing his guitar than it sitting in a glass cabinet.
If as said below Rory's brother brought it for Joe to play i think that says it all.. I think Rory's brother would know what Rory would have wanted more that some of the lame and desrespectrul comments below..
Rory did not mind fans picking his guitar up and playing it, if you watch one of the Bullfrog Blues videos here on YT you will even see Rory let a fan at the front strum his guitar mid-concert! Of course Rory would not have minded Joe Bonamassa playing his guitar.
@@Bandit19990 actually Joe's GF at the time arranged it all as a birthday pressie for JB
Yes thats very true , almost feel Rory,s spirit
Absolutely, Rory was the nicest and most humble person.
Tears watching this guitar get played again. It just hit me, and Joe does it big time justice. Rory is smiling for sure.
How fitting that such an iconic instrument should get another chance to shine. Who gives a fuck who's the better player. Both have bought so much memorable music to our fortunate ears
A guitar with that much mojo deserves and needs to be played by players of the highest caliber. Not hung on a wall.
i dont see the point in that either man!!!
Brian Keeley I agree this is pretty amazing
and for sure not by Mr "Wanna Be greatest blues player ever" JB
nah, that's John Mayer
I love great guitars old and new and it's great to see one with such history be played again. Far too many guitars end up sitting in a closet and never end up on stage. This is another "Blackie" or "No 1" that was destined for the stage - not some dusty ass closet. .
And for anyone comparing Joe, Rorey, Clapton, SRV, Gilmore, etc. Which is better and apple or an orange?
Rory's iconic 1961 Strat, loaned to Bonamassa by Rory's brother, Donal Gallagher.
You got that people ? "...loaned by Donal..." Yes Rory approves, from A Million Miles Away, up in Heaven. Once, after consuming a bottle of Bushmill's, I got to shake Rory's hand, moments after the last encore. Bonamassa understands FULLY what he has in his hands. Joe makes this iconic Strat sing...he makes it cry...at Royal Albert...epic.
@@murraywoods7909 yet unfortunately Joe can't make that guitar sound anything like that song A Million Miles away so why even bother
@@theherbpuffer IT '74 is high on my list of greatest LIVE performances ever.
@@murraywoods7909 also Live in Europe for me. I can never decide which one I like more. Irish Tour probably has technically the better guitarist playing but I just love the blues and Live in Europe has more pure blues numbers
Grandiose! Very emotional. RIP, Rory. Gone too soon, never forgotten
Its a guitar, sure its Rory's and we miss him terribly, but having another master play it is fine by me. Rory used to let fans play with it for goodness sake!!!!
lol!
Another Master? - you're joking - Joe Bananas doesn't even come close - all noise, no talent - an asshole in a suit - didn't even deserve to touch Rory's Strat - the man's a joke.
Boz something .....what
Please Boz
@@bozsomething2697 Not sure where you get your opinion. Rory was great, and I am a big fan of his, but what's with the Joe bashing. You are the asshole, with or without a suit.
What an honor it must have been to play that guitar.
Rory Gallagher, what a kind, and honorable, very humble and very special man he was.
What a brilliant singer, songwriter and greatest guitarist he was.
Listening to the lyrics of his song brings a picture to the listener's mind.
How luck many us were to have had the very great privilege to have seen Rory and his Band doing gigs over the years,
Rory Gallagher, music is as fresh today as it was when it was first released, his music will last for hundreds of your years to come. His very great talent’s are just banning to get know by people from all over the whole wide world, his name will grow and grow way into the future.
Starting to play guitar in the early seventies Rory came in loud and clear. I do know whatever Rory had he took with him because I never heard another like him again. Thanks for the memories and Joe for not forgetting.
I remember seeing Rory once. He broke a string in the middle of a song, signaled to the roadie which string, grabbed the new string, restrung it, tuned it and finished the song with hardly a hiccup. The guy was one with that guitar!
What a wonderful tribute to Rory, who was taken from us way too soon. But to compare Joe to Rory is as silly as comparing Malmsteen to Blackmore... Both are great guitarists... who is to say one plays with more emotion? or more technical brilliance? I say... Just sit back and enjoy the show!
Because Rory was so much better it's not even comparable.
@@theherbpuffer if Rory was better it wasn't because of his technical ability, but his presence, attitude and authenticity
@@magnetic0314 all the above
OHHHH! Hearing it cry again! Passion! Freedom!
Thanks Joe for recognizing the greatness of a fellow musician! I'm a million miles away sleeping at the laundromat..stop in anytime
Rory would love this. Its all about the music
Seeing Joe playing Rory Gallagher strat makes my hart Happy loved it !!!
So great to hear that guitar sing again, Rory would be proud
I saw Rory in 79 for his Photo Finish album tour in Los Angeles. I was 17 years old. I was blown away. He was doing a fantastic solo and a string broke and dangling. Everyone up against the stage including me were trying the grab the broken string. He didn't stop to swap out his guitar. He kept playing.
Clearly. Something happened to Joe while playing this song on that guitar. By far, the best solo of any version of this great song I've ever seen him do to date. Might be the best melodic solo I've ever heard. In my mind, he'll never improve on this version because it's perfect. And I need to say Thank You to a Master. Wow.
we've watched this clip a number of times. joes best song? well, it's off one of his best albums! rory's guitar puts it in another category. such goodstuff. play on! love, steve and donna
Big big Rory fan and loved hearing Joe play his strat- he sure got it to sing and I thought the whole performance oozed respect.
That eerie, ringing and wailing voice of that guitar heard once again, masterfully played by Joe.
I find it amusing the negativity here? What made Rory great was that he was a humble musician! All great musicians are humble!
A lot of them are Assholes
Except for most jazz musicians
You're delusional lol
It's great to see this guitar, doing what is was made for.
Onstage, being played, entertaining people.
Exactly what, Rory, did with it.
Do we really need say, anything else?
This brought tears to my eyes when I first watched it! Beautiful!!
Am falling in love with that song.. nice guitar too.. soul touching performance, superb !!!
Such a haunting sound Joe extracts from Rory`s Strat..
Excellent Melody
What an honor to have the chance to play that guitar. Thanks to Rory's brother & thanks to Joe for playing it so well. Rory would be proud.
Definitely my favourite version of this number... Beautiful.
Though ive heard Joe play a million times, and all of them were amazing this performance was especially brilliant! Maybe he was channeling Rory through his strat but damn what a performance!
It's so funny reading all the arguments on here over who's a better guitarist. Gimme a break.
If you're over the age of 15 and you're still bickering with people on youtube over that, then there's no hope for you. Just listen to the damn music and maybe get a hobby.
Precisely !! Only morons compare musicians - every one is unique.
I agree I’m sick of people getting all stupid about SRV, etc.
It's all a matter of opinion right!! Some people like the slow leads and some prefer the bluesy and some like shredding!! Me ?? I love all of it!!! Very expanded library of music!! That's what I consider a real music lover!!!
Well it's not Bonamasso anyway. Rory brought the change in irish music. He played and shoved all the dance hall era stuff into the background. Being from a narrow minded hole like this, what he done was huge. For that reason I think Rory is legendary status and right up there with the best in the world ever.
Right. And also Rory.
It's like rorys strat has been waiting a long time to be heard again and boy it didn't disappoint incredible sound
Who honestly does not believe jb is and has been for years the best. I do. Seen him several times his shows are great. Albums great. Great vocals. And this man has a solo for every song. The complete blues rock and now jazz player too. Phenomenal!!!!!!
my god that guitar sounds so good,,,,,Rory we miss you it's good to hear your guitar sing
I used to know someone named Coates, I think it was Paul? Any relationship?
There's always character and soul in certain instruments and im sure Rory is still in his strat and that's all the mojo anyone can ever ask for.
great player Rory loves it
just love the spirit of his improvisations.
listen to that guitar scream, she wants to be played. Joe knows exactly how she likes it
There is a beauty to the ambience and aura this sound is putting out! Great acoustics ❤️❤️
The best version of “Sloe Gin” ever! Joe makes Rory’s 😢Strat sing once more.
Very emotional, soulful and excellent tribute. I am sure Rory approves. 😢❤
Joe's hands holding the Holy Grail of rock
Nice tribute. He is paying respect - but people on here just can't see the beauty of this. Stop being negative and enjoy the performance, all of you exaggerating and pretentious Rory fans who say this is "sacrilege". It's not. It's a homage to his idol.
spot on
thats cool and i love it but this is not a Rory song ,,,, it was originally played by dick Wagner one of the finest writers and players of the day and sung by Tim Curry , i under stand this is Rorys guitar and i love it one of my favorte guitars and artists
***** yes but this is the second time joe has played the instrument. he also used it in 2011 to play cradle rock
I am a huge Rory fan and I applaud Joe's efforts in having a go at Rory's strat. of course, he doesn't get anywhere near the flageolet tone Rory had. Rory had the ability to "damp" down the harmonics in his guitar strings, using his fingers, a millisecond after he played that string. That's where his awesome tone came from, and why he could get so many sounds of his guitar, using only his fingers, his tone controls, and a range master treble booster.
Rory Gallagherfan was an amazing musician, we need more like him
a great song, a great player, a legendary guitar... a lovely tribute to Rory
it's fitting the guitar lives again. I know Rory would have loved this just as I know he would have hated all the who's the greatest ever BS. It's wonderful music people of the kind that kind bring tears to your eyes at the right moments. True power Joe - thank you for bringing it and for making Roy's guitar cry once again!
great sound Joe has a nice touch
Rory would love to see other guitarists playing his strat
Just wonderful, a great song on a great guitar!
Fantastic tribute from a great to a great
I am loving Rory so much. He changed the world for me, in some way. He was such a humble man, although he was a genius. He never changed his shy and respectful nature. That's what why we love him so much, I think. He was a common man.
Nevertheless, I am sure Rory would have been agreed if not honored, by Joe playing his Strat. Be honest guys, at first I didn't like Joe because of his shiny, suited appeal. But then I started to really listen to his music and I realized I was wrong with him. Joe is one of the few guitarists today, which take blues and change it to something new, but still authentic. He is one of the very few musicians, that today matter. Leave him in peace. The odds are very high, he is as keen and respectful to playing that strat as most of us would.
This is beautiful, a fitting tribute to an amazing musician from another amazing musician, Rory would have been proud that his cherished strat was being played with such soul and conviction and heart, i agree with some earlier comments, guitars should be played not locked away for ghouls to stare at.
Ahhh.....this is so beautiful !! Got 'blues'-bumps all over my body.
that strat is just soo gorgeous...it played a tune in my youth,adolescence,and man hood...in my old age i have one request,dont let it ever die
As much as I love Rory Gallagher and in some ways struggle quite a bit this (part of me feels strongly that NO ONE should ever play this guitar - it should have been buried with Rory), I also realize and know how big of an influence Rory was on this boy wonder, and I have no doubt that Rory would not only approve but geel very humbled deep inside, that he, like the blues giants before him, had influenced the newxt generation. Job well done Rory, and job well done Joe. The rest of the noise you clowns are making is just that - noise. Be happy that Rory lived. Be happy that Joe lives. And be happy that they make this beautiful music for you to enjoy.
Rory has been largely ignored by popular history not to mention the Rock and roll hall of fame. It is about time that he started to get a portion of the recognition that he so richly deserves. One can only hope that efforts like this by performers like Joe will snowball into a Gallagher renaissance.
Wonderful to see that amazing guitar out and about in the hands of someone as good as it’s original master. I’m sure Joe feels very honoured to play it.
One of the best live players I've ever seen - and I've been going to concerts since 1971...
There is a word for this: icronic.
Thank you, Rory. Let's keep the blues alive.
These two men can not be compared. We get our tone today through technology, pedals and computers. Rory got this tone from tubes, anolog, and .013's. Players from this era invented the "daisy chain." Two completeley different men, two completeley different eras, and back then Rory was paving the roads that Joe has been driving on since he was in high school. There will never be another guitar player like Rory, though I do feel that Joe is one of the best today.
Joe is all about tubes though...
yup :-)
Fantastic! Can't wait to sees him this Summer at The Hampton Beach Casino.
Joe has such a respect for these instruments with history, and you can see the emotion that he plays with when he uses them. Rory's stratocaster, or Bernie Marsden' Les Paul... the history of these instruments is what inspires Joe to play the performance you hear. I love that respect, and I love that you can hear it in his playing.
Rory would love it......
He should have recorded that song with that guitar.. My god what a tone.
Great tribute Joe. A brilliant guitar player plays a truly Iconic guitar from a man we all loved and admired. I,m sure Rory was smiling down on you for that man. He would hate his guitar hung on a wall..............respect !!!
Love his music and voice so much!
I'm not famous or even remotely good, but I hope somebody, anybody, gets to play my guitars when I'm in the dirt.
Best fucking comment I have ever heard. Godspeed, Old Soul!
I leave all of my basses/ amps to my Granddaughter. I would hope she enjoys them as much as I have. It doesn't matter if she plays in front of a crowd or the cats...just have fun and remember Grandpa once and a while.
So bluntly said Captain S. Probably no one will appreciate my 70's Ovation acoustic guitar and my 80's Fender Starcaster (which was compared to a regular Strat is just as good)
WTF? Why so many haters? Get a life.. Joe's a monster player paying tribute to legend.. I guess all you computer rock stars are better. Feel free to post your concerts videos.. Twits
A wonderful tribute to Rory. Ty Joe.
Great stuff. Very touching and moving will be appreciated by many I’m sure.
Bonamassa is so fucking good it's unreal. End of story. I am a huge, huge Rory Gallagher fan as well. This makes me happy as a guitar player and music freak. I love, love, love this. Haters are gonna hate. There ain't nothing to hate here. Move on.
I'm with you - I love this. I'll never be anywhere as good as Joe or Rory but one thing of Joe's I have really taken to heart is *sweating the tone*...I don't tube-roll or other super-picky stuff (well, I keep a carbon-zinc 9V battery in my Fuzz Face clone, so there's that) but I pay attention to "sweet spots" and letting the fingers get the tone the rest of the way there. I've also seen Joe stress the importance of tone controls on the guitar - as a "signature tone" I try to roll down the tone controls from the top until I just barely hear it start to lean on the cap a little.
Rory's guitar played by another master, who loved him, wheres the downside? and remember Joe does Cradle Rock on his first album ,great song, on a great guitar. played by the greatest living guitarist
Rory would approve of others playing his guitar because of his humbleness, but Rory shits on Joe end of story
Perfection. Used to follow Rory around u.k. back in the day, Amazing tribute Rory would be watching and probably laughing at all the fuss, he was such an unassuming man much missed thanks Rory for all the memories and thanks Joe for all the new ones
Mr Bonamassa, your Frickin awesome. also great song and great playing as always.
Ah the old strat. It took a swim in oyster bay in 74 .Got new pickups a bit later. Dried out and straigntened the neck by the wood stove. Rory said it changed the tone. First time the neck was dry in a decade. He had sweaty palms. listen to ny tour 74 if ya want to hear the original.
check out "walk on hot coals" from "irish tour 74". The song is a guitar lesson for the ages.
